The Airline Career Program

The Airline Career Program is the premier professional track offered by Atlantis Aviation Education and Consulting Group that guarantees a career as an Airline Pilot in the US. The program starts with a Bachelor or Master in Aeronautics and includes the licenses required for a career as an Airline Pilot.

No other program guarantees all three stages.

Stage 1 - Start your degree and earn your licenses

We will guide you through the application process for our partner university of your choice to start your Bachelor or Master in Aeronautics.

Once admitted, you will start your degree and complete most of the licenses required by the FAA for a career as an airline pilot. These licenses are:

  • Private Pilot License

    • Ground Training - 30 Hrs

    • Dual Instruction Cessna 172 SEL - 35 Hrs

    • Cessna 172 solo - 13 Hrs

Stage 2 - Gain experience

The FAA mandates that airline pilots accrue 1,500 flight hours before being eligible to be hired by an airline. The most common and efficient path aspiring airline pilots take is to use their Certified Flight Instructor license to teach new students and earn a salary as an instructor.

The Airline Career Program by Atlantis is unique in that we guarantee, in writing, placement at a flight school that will allow you to comfortably, efficiently and quickly earn the hours required to advance to Stage 3.

Stage 3 - Start your airline career

Once you have earned 1,500 flight hours, you are eligible to complete your Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) license, which is included in the Airline Career Program. You are ready to join the elite group of Atlantis aviators at regional and mainline airlines in the US. We are so confident in our program that we offer a written guarantee of placement at a regional US airline upon completion of the Airline Career Program.
